My MIL is Japanese and she is horrified by the "bento" lunches that I pack for LO...poor presentation, not enough hot food and I basically throw leftovers into cupcake liners. She might be onto something... 
Do you use leftovers or do you cook stuff specifically for your LO's lunch.

I like your bentos! Japanese bentos are on a totally different level and way too time consuming. I just put food in compartments and call it a bento. No fancy decorations. Occasionally I'll add an animal toothpick.

haha that's funny! But makes sense I guess.
I just think of a bento as packing a lunch. I usually only have a variety of 3-5 foods, and the presentation is very meh. I usually use leftovers!

Haha, she might be right for once! Japanese bentos are works of art!
I only use bentos for snacks on the go. I think the little compartments are perfect for snacks since they are small portions.

@Andrea: I'm going to take the girls to the library tomorrow...maybe I will look for a bento book!
Her bentos are amazing...fake grass, rice balls, etc!
